Zambia - Day 7,8,9


















































I realized that I miss an update, I was too consumed with finishing my resume so to make it up, I’ll do a longer update

Zambia Day 7
In all honesty, I can’t quite recall what I did today, I know it is more meetings to talk about the working of RPC and some of the results we came up with for all aspect of the project, so it is a day full of meeting. Everyone is pretty burnt out by the night so we all went to bed pretty early.

Zambia Day 8
It was Saturday. It was a special day causes first of all, no meeting!!! Second? We went to a safari game farm. The game farm does not have any cats which were unfortunate but it did have all the deers and buffalos, zebras and giraffes. We all rode in one of the safari trucks that you find in the movies which were pretty fun. I’ll let picture do the speaking. On the way back to the school where were staying, the bus had a broken bearing and we had to wait on the side of the road for about 20min for a new bus to come. We all praised God that we were safe and that there were no car on the other side of the road cause the bus swerve to the opposite lane. That night, we had a BBQ/meeting to present our findings to some of the RPC share holders. The food we ate in Zambia was pretty similar to the food in North America but instead of potato or rice, they eat a white paste made of grounded maize. It is very bland and you eat with your fingers. The BBQ was great.

Zambia Day 9
Sunday is always church day and in Zambia is no exception. The team was divided up into 2 or 3 and we all went to different churches. The church I went to this Sunday not only had the big speaker at the front of the room, there were big speakers at the back of the room too. Good thing we were sitting in the middle so our ear did not bleed. This service was very similar to the service we had in Lusaka, very engaging and very high energy. After the service, we jumped on the bus and were on our way back to Lusaka. Throughout the time in Lusaka, we notice lots of stickers on the bus and cars have reference to God. Initially we were joking around with the stickers. One of the buses has “Only God Knows” stickers and we were saying Only God knows how we survive that ride but there is some truth to that statement.

Until next time...
